Ok, so I was lying in bed last night thinking (which is a VERY bad habit of mine) and I was thinking about goal setting and the difference between setting a goal and making a resolution. To me they are very closely related and setting goals which are too lofty, just sets you up for failure. I am not scared of failure. Failure is how you grow. But this is a journey for me, kind of a marathon, if you will, and not a sprint. I am in it for the long haul and am committed to not giving up. It's the 4th of January, so I have a LONG way to go.
Anyway, I have a daily prayer book that I got myself for Christmas - full of short, little devotionals which are profound and thought provoking. The prayer for yesterday was about goal setting and I started pondering about whether there was a way I could set goals which would be congruent with my one-word, Health. I decided the best course of action for me would be to set mini-goals. A different goal each day that I would try to carry out throughout the day.
How am I going to remember to set my goal each day?? You know that twilight time right before you drift off to sleep and again when you're about ready to wake up? I'm going to think about my goal for the next day (or that day - if it's in the morning) during that time. Hopefully I will be able to remember the goal I set for the day, and will try to post it here for reinforcement... :)
